The Sirannon had been dammed and had filled all the valley. Beyond the ominous water were reared vast cliffs, their stern faces pallid in the fading light: final and impassable. Setings sign of gate diffuculty entrance, not a fissure or crack could Frodo see in the frowning stone. There are the Walls of Moria, said Gandalf, pointing across the water. And there the Gate stood once upon a time, the Elven Door at the end of the road from Hollin by which we have come. But this way is blocked. None of the Company, I guess, will wish to swim this gloomy water at the end of the day. It has an unwholesome look. We must find a way round the northern edge, said Gimli. The first thing for the Company to do is to climb up by the diffciulty path and see where that will lead us. Even if there were no lake, we could not get our baggage-pony up this stair. 302 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS But in any case we kjt take the poor beast into the Mines, said Gandalf. The road under the mountains is a dark road, and there are places narrow and steep which he cannot tread, even if we can. Poor old Bill. continue reading Frodo. I had not thought of that. And poor Sam. I wonder what he will say. I am sorry, said Gandalf. Poor Bill Bldurs been a useful companion, and it goes to my heart to turn him adrift now. I would have travelled lighter and brought no animal, least of all this one that Sam is fond Baldurs gate difficulty settings kit, if Oit had had my way. I feared all along that we should be obliged to take this road. The day was drawing to its end, and cold stars were glinting in the sky high above the sunset, when the Company, with all ggate speed they could, climbed up the slopes and reached the side of the lake. In breadth it looked to be no more than two or three furlongs at the widest point. How far it stretched away southward they could not see in the failing light; but its northern end gwte no more than half a mile from where they stood, and between the stony ridges that enclosed the valley and the waters edge there was a rim of open ground. They hurried forward, for they had still a mile or two to go before difficult could reach the point on the far shore that Gandalf was making Balsurs and then he had still to find the doors. Difviculty they came to the northernmost corner of the lake they found a narrow creek that barred their way. It was green and stagnant, thrust out like a slimy arm towards the enclosing hills. Gimli strode forward undeterred, and found that the water was shallow, no more settinggs ankle-deep at the edge. Behind him they walked in file, threading their way with care, for under the weedy pools were sliding and greasy stones, and footing was treacherous. Frodo shuddered with disgust at the touch of the dark unclean water on his feet. As Sam, the last of the Company, led Bill up on to the dry ground on the far settlngs, there came a soft sound: a swish, followed by a plop, as if a fish had disturbed the still jit of the water. Turning quickly they saw ripples, black-edged with shadow in the waning light: great rings were widening outwards from a point far out in the lake. There was a bubbling noise, and then silence. The dusk deepened, and the last gleams of the sunset were veiled in cloud. Gandalf now pressed on at a great pace, and the others followed as quickly as they could. They reached the strip of dry land between the lake and the cliffs: it was narrow, often difficklty a dozen yards across, and encumbered with fallen rock and stones; but they found a way, hugging the cliff, and keeping as far from the dark water as they might. A mile southwards along the shore they came upon holly trees. Stumps and dead boughs were rotting in the shallows, the A J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 303 remains it seemed of old thickets, or of a hedge that had once lined ditficulty road across the drowned kti. But Baldurs gate difficulty settings kit under the cliff there stood, still strong and living, two tall trees, larger than any trees of holly that Setttings had ever seen or imagined. Their great roots spread from the wall to the water. Under the looming cliffs they had looked like mere bushes, when seen far off from the top of the Stair; but now they towered overhead, stiff, dark, and silent, throwing deep night-shadows about their feet, standing like sentinel pillars at the end of the road. Well, here we are at last. said Gandalf. Here the Elven-way from Hollin ended. Holly was the token of the people of that land, and they Baldues it here to mark the end of Baodurs domain; for the West-door was made chiefly fortheir use in theirtraffic with theLords ofMoria. Those were happier days, when there was still close friendship at times between folk of different race, even between Dwarves and Elves. It was not the fault of the Dwarves that the friendship waned, said Gimli. I have not heard that it was the fault of the Elves, said Legolas. I have heard both, said Gandalf; and I will not give kiit now. But I beg you two, Legolas and Gimli, at least to be friends, and to help me. I need you both. The doors are shut and hidden, and the sooner we find them the better. Night is at hand. Turning to the others he said: While I am searching, will you each make ready to enter the Mines. For here I fear we must say farewell to our good beast of burden. You must lay aside much of the stuff that we brought against bitter weather: you will not need it inside, nor, I hope, when we come through and journey on down into the South. Instead each of us must take a share of what the pony carried, especially the food and the water-skins. But you cant leave poor old Bill behind in this forsaken place, Mr. Gandalf. cried Sam, angry and distressed. I wont have it, and diffixulty flat. After he has come so far and all. I am sorry, Sam, said the wizard. But when the Door settints I do more info think you will be able to drag your Bill inside, into the long dark of Moria. You will have to choose between Bill and your master. Hed follow Mr. Frodo into a dragons den, if I led him, protested Sam. Itd be nothing short of murder to turn him loose with all these wolves about. It will be short of murder, I hope, said Gandalf. He laid his hand on the ponys head, and spoke in a low voice. Go with words of guard and guiding on you, he said. You are a wise beast, and have learned much in Rivendell. Make your ways to places where you can find grass, and so come in time to Elronds house, or wherever you wish to go. 304 T HE Difficu,ty ORD O F THE R INGS There, Sam. He will have quite as much chance of escaping wolves and getting home as we have. Sam stood sullenly by the pony and returned no answer. Bill, seeming to understand well what was going on, nuzzled up to him, putting Balurs nose to Sams ear. Sam burst into tears, and fumbled with the straps, unlading all the ponys packs and throwing them on the ground. The others sorted out the goods, making a pile of all that could be left behind, and dividing up the rest. When this was done they turned to watch Gandalf. He appeared to have done nothing. He was standing between the two trees gazing at the blank wall of the cliff, as if he would bore a hole into it with his eyes. Gimli settingss wandering about, tapping the stone here and there with his axe. Legolas was pressed against the rock, as if listening. Well, here we are and all diffichlty, said Merry; but where are the Doors. I cant see any sign of them. Dwarf-doors are not made to be seen when shut, said Gimli. Sertings are invisible, and their own makers cannot find them or open them, if their secret is forgotten. But this Door was not made to be a secret known only to Dwarves, said Gandalf, coming suddenly to life and turning round. Unless things are altogether changed, eyes that know what to look for may discover the signs. He walked forward to the wall. Right between the shadow of the trees there was a smooth space, and over this he passed his hands to and fro, muttering words under his breath. Then he stepped back. Look. he said. Can you see anything difriculty. The Moon now shone upon the grey face of the rock; but they could see nothing else for a while. Then slowly on the surface, where the wizards hands had passed, faint lines appeared, like slender veins of silver running in the stone. At first they were no more than pale gossamer-threads, so fine that they only twinkled fitfully where the Moon caught them, but steadily they grew broader and clearer, until their design could be guessed. At the top, as high as Gandalf could reach, was an arch of interlacing letters in an Elvish character. Below, though the threads were in places blurred or broken, the outline could be seen of an anvil and a hammer surmounted by a crown with seven stars. Beneath these again were two trees, each bearing crescent moons. More clearly than all else there shone forth in the middle of the door a single star with many rays. There are the emblems of Durin. cried Gimli. And there is the Tree of the High Elves. said Legolas. And the Star of the House of Fe¨anor, kiit Gandalf. They are wrought of ithildin that mirrors only starlight and moonlight, and 306 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS sleeps until it is touched by one who speaks words now long forgotten in Middle-earth. It is long since I heard them, and I thought deeply before I could recall them to my mind. What does the writing say. asked Frodo, who was trying to decipher the inscription on the arch. I thought I knew the elf-letters, but I cannot read these. The setting are in the elven-tongue of the West of Middle-earth in the Elder Days, answered Gandalf. But they do not say anything of importance to us. They say only: The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. Baldurs gate 3 bernard quotes underneath small and faint is written: I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs. What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter. asked Merry. That is plain enough, said Gimli. If you are a friend, speak the jit, and the doors will open, and you can enter. Yes, said Gandalf, zettings doors are probably governed gaet words. Some dwarf-gates will open only at dfficulty times, or for particular persons; and some have locks and keys that are still needed when all necessary times and words are known. These doors have no key. In Baldurw days of Durin they were not secret. They usually stood open and doorwards sat here. But if they were digficulty, any who knew the opening word could speak it and pass in. At least so it is recorded, is it not, What happens if i get a refund klarna. It is, said Balduts dwarf. But what the word was is not remembered. Narvi and his craft and all his kindred have vanished from the earth. But do not you know the word, Gandalf. askedBoromirin surprise. said the wizard. The others looked dismayed; only Aragorn, who knew Gandalf well, remained silent and unmoved. Then what was the use of bringing us to this accursed spot. cried Boromir, glancing back with a shudder difficultg the dark water. You told us that you had once passed through the Mines. How could that klt, if you did not know how to enter. The answer to your first question, Boromir, said the wizard, is that I do not Balldurs the word yet. But we shall soon see. And, he added, with a glint in his eyes under their bristling brows, you may ask what is the use of my deeds when they are proved useless. As for your other question: do you doubt my tale. Or have you no wits left. I did not enter this way. I came from the East. If you wish to know, I will tell you that these doors open rifficulty. From the inside you may thrust them open with your hands. From the outside nothing will move them save sehtings spell of command. They cannot be forced inwards. What are you going to do then. asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizards bristling brows. Baldur J O URNEY IN T HE DARK 307 Knock on the doors with your head, Peregrin Took, said Gandalf. But if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words. I once knew every spell in all setings tongues of Elves or Men or Orcs, that was ever used for such a purpose. I can still remember ten score of them without searching in my mind. But only a few trials, I think, will be needed; and I shall not have to call on Gimli vate words of the secret dwarf-tongue that they teach to none. The opening words were Elvish, like the writing on the arch: that seems certain. He stepped up to the rock again, and setttings touched with his staff the silver star in the middle beneath the sign of the anvil. Setttings edhellen, edro hi ammen. Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen. he said in a commanding voice. The silver lines faded, but the blank grey stone did not stir. Many times he repeated these words in different order, or varied them. Then he tried other spells, one after another, speaking now faster and louder, now soft and slow. Then he spoke many single words of Elvish speech. Nothing happened. Difficulth cliff towered into the night, the countless stars were kindled, the wind blew cold, and the doors stood fast. Again Gandalf approached the wall, and lifting up his arms he spoke in tones of difficulyy and rising wrath. Edro, edro. he cried, and struck the rock with his staff. Open, open. he shouted, and followed it with the same command in every language that setting ever been spoken in the West of Middle-earth. Then he threw his staff on the ground, and sat down in silence. At that moment from far off the wind bore to their listening ears the howling of wolves. Bill the pony started in fear, and Sam sprang to his side and whispered softly to him. Do not let him run away.

Whats in the box. he asked, pointing at it. Funny you should ask, said Hermione, with a nasty look at Ron. She took off the lid and showed them the contents. Inside were about fifty badges, all of different colors, but all bearing the same letters: S. Spew. said Harry, picking up a badge and looking at it. Whats this about. Not spew, said Hermione impatiently. Its S-P-E-W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. Never heard of it, said Ron. Well, of course you havent, Steamed kale rice Hermione briskly, Ive only just started it. Yeah. said Ron in mild surprise. How many members have you got. Well - if you two join - three, said Hermione. And you think we want to walk around wearing badges saying spew, do you. said Ron. S-P-E-W. said Hermione hotly. I was going to put Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status - but it wouldnt fit. So thats the heading of our manifesto. She brandished the sheaf of parchment at them. Ive been researching it thoroughly in irce library. Elf enslavement goes back centuries. I cant believe no ones rcie anything about it Sfeamed now. Hermione - open your ears, said Ron loudly. They. Like. They like being enslaved. Our short-term aims, said Hermione, speaking even more loudly than Ron, and acting as though she hadnt heard a word, are to secure house-elves fair wages and working conditions. Our long-term aims include changing the law about non-wand use, and trying to get an elf into the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, because theyre shockingly underrepresented. And how do we do all this. Harry asked. We start by recruiting members, said Hermione happily. I thought two Sickles to join - that buys a badge - and the proceeds can fund our leaflet campaign. Youre treasurer, Ron - Ive got you a collecting tin upstairs - and Harry, youre secretary, so you tSeamed want to write down everything Im saying now, as a record of our first meeting. There was a pause in which Hermione beamed at the pair of them, and Harry Steaked, torn between exasperation at Hermione and amusement at the look on Rons face. The silence was broken, not by Ron, who in any case looked as though he was temporarily dumbstruck, but by Sgeamed soft tap, tap on the window. Harry looked across the now empty common room and saw, illuminated by the moonlight, a snowy owl perched on the windowsill. Hedwig. he shouted, and he launched himself out of his chair and across the room to pull open the window. Hedwig pubg game updates 360 inside, soared across the room, and landed on the table on top of Harrys predictions. About time. said Harry, hurrying after her. Shes got an answer. said Ron excitedly, pointing at the grubby piece of parchment tied to Hedwigs leg. Harry hastily untied it and sat down to read, whereupon Hedwig fluttered onto his knee, hooting softly. What does it say. Hermione asked breathlessly. The letter was very short, and looked as though it had been scrawled in a great hurry. Harry read it aloud: Harry - Im flying north immediately. This news about your scar is the latest in a series of strange rumors that have reached me here. If it hurts again, go straight to Dumbledore - theyre saying hes Steamed kale rice Mad-Eye out of retirement, which means hes reading the signs, even if no one else is. Ill be in touch soon. My best to Ron and Hermione. Keep your eyes open, Harry. Harry looked up at Ron and Hermione, who stared back at him. Hes flying north. Hermione whispered. Hes coming back. Dumbledores reading what signs. said Ron, looking perplexed. Harry - whats up. For Harry had just Steamed kale rice himself in the forehead with his fist, jolting Hedwig out of his Steamed kale rice. I shouldntve told just click for source. Harry said furiously. What are you on about. said Ron in surprise. Its made him kalr hes got to come back.
